karabk 's review for:
Mr. Rochester
by Sarah Shoemaker
I get especially excited over a 400+ page novel. If it's captivating, I get to have much more of it, I don't have to let it go so soon. The synopsis of Mr. Rochester sounded intriguing and different, so I looked forward to starting this book by Sarah Shoemaker.
Always an avid reader of modern literature, I had never developed an interest in historical fiction, so I haven't read Jane Eyre, the classic always on the top of required reading lists. My interest in Victorian literature didn't come until recently when I started The Sisters of Versailles series.
What stands out about Edward throughout is how bound by loyalty and duty he is. He, much to my annoyance, remained a dutiful son and son-in-law in spite of the downright deception besieged upon him. I wondered when he would start making his own decisions and be his own man.
